I had an episode (caused by grits!!) and I had to get unfilled. OMG! I miss my fill! I can eat anything. I realize how much my brain can "make me" eat. September 12th is my re-fill date, because my docs vacation and my schedule. I MUST try to do this on my own for a few weeks. Please, God, let me not gain 20lbs 'till I get filled. . . . .trust me, you don't know how much you miss something 'till it's not there. The band is awesome and I will count the days until I get filled.

I just had a 1/4 cc removed yesterday. I had to do to sinus or something. I feel better, but I have to watch that I stay between 800-1200 calories a day. So I have to keep that up untill I go back in a month for a Tweaking.

So I recommend you do the same. It's a thought......

I agree with 54shirley....I was not filled til 2 months after the surgery. I wrote down all the calories and Protein and liquid I took in every day. It is so helpful to actually see in writing what you are taking in. I am still doing it, even though I now have 4cc and that is helping me somewhat. Also, I try to get in 80 grams of protein a day. That REALLY helps to make me not feel hungry. I feel lots of protein per day is the second best thing to the lap band! Good luck to you!
